In a statement released today via its Facebook page, Chick-fil-A has made it clear that while it stands behind the anti-gay statements president Dan Cathy made earlier this week, the company is going to "leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena." Reiterating that the company "appl[ies] biblically-based principles to [its] business," Chick-fil-A also wants you to know that while it hates the gay lifestyle, it loves gay money, and would like to continue to serve chicken to all dirty sinners "regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender."
